I'm Free
Dont grieve for me, 
for now Im free
Im following the path 
God laid for me,
I took His hand when 
I heard him call
I turned my back 
and left it all.
I could not stay 
another day
To laugh, to love, 
to work or play.
Tasks left undone
 must stay that way
I found that place
 at the close of day.
If my parting has left a void
Then fill it with 
remembered joy.
A friendship shared,
 a laugh, a kiss.
Ah yes, these things, 
I too, will miss.
Be not burdened 
with times of sorrow.
I wish you the sunshine 
of tomorrow.
My lifes been full, 
I savored much.
Good friends, good times, 
a loved ones touch.
Perhaps my time 
seemed all too brief;
Dont lengthen it now 
with undue grief.
Lift up your heart 
and share with me
God wanted me now, 
He set me free.
